Small revolution in the reputedly sexist and misogynistic universe of
Grand Theft Auto
: the next video game will offer to embody a woman.
This is a first for the franchise, which has existed for twenty-five years, reports Bloomberg relayed by BFMTV.
Until then, women were only objects in the game, or possibly secondary characters but impossible to embody.
GTA V
, the franchise's latest installment released in 2013, was no exception.
But that's all set to change with
GTA VI
, due out in 2024.
🎮 GTA VI unveils new info:
-The city will be a fictional Miami
-The main character will be a Hispanic female character who will evolve in a story inspired by Bonnie and Clyde pic.twitter.com/EXxndqigTT

A global success
The plot of the sixth game will take place in a city inspired by Miami (USA).
Players will be able to embody a “Bonnie & Clyde” style couple, whose female character will be of “Latin” origin.
Rockstar Games, the studio behind the game, wanted to develop a more inclusive and less misogynistic experience, specifies BFMTV.
So far, the
GTA
game series has been successful with no less than 165 million copies sold.
It is the best-selling game in history, behind
Minecraft
and its 238 million copies.
The release of Episode VI, awaited by fans since 2014, will therefore be a real event in the world of gaming.
